>> only from what we've heard from the pentagon, from sources at the pentagon, who say he disputes any wrongdoing in this matter. >> all right. so yesterday we were talking about the importance of the time line. this is of the petraeus affair. adultery is a criminal act in the military. but officials say the relationship between petraeus and broadwell actually began after he retired. but what about allen? he is a current commander. he is married. if these e-mails reveal evidence of adultery could he face criminal charges, as well? >> if there was actual sex between a married officer and someone else then yes, it's possible. although i talked to a source earlier today who says he believes in this case, even if there was adultery, he's not saying there was, but he does not feel that there would be a criminal charges brought against general allen. >> all right. and we have another bizarre twist in this story. we know paula broadwell's home was searched. actually we're going to deal with this one first. do you have any idea what the agents found or what they were searching for? and then i'
